You know you love your job when:
You spend the entire weekend working, from dawn until almost midnight each day, and at the end of the weekend you think….. That was so much fun! It leaves me feel energized, inspired and looking forward to getting up to do it again tomorrow!
I really have the best clients! Fun, well educated, savvy and just a good time! I really love helping them to build their future through real estate.
Can you say that about your job? I can.
Does your broker create private tours for you, at your convenience, and hand select properties for you that you will love when you see them? Do they give you the extra time and attention it takes to make you feel valuable? Do they spend an entire day touring you all over the areas you love the most? Do they have the education, and the negotiating skills to help you win the bid in this fiercely competitive market? Do they have answers to all of your questions, and make this process seem effortless and enjoyable? Do they manage every detail for you and ensure nothing is left to chance?
No? Then why do you use them?
For me, these are all just things I do every day, for all of my clients. It is not a price point I serve, it is the quality of service I provide, that sets me apart.
Call me, my clients matter.

This is a question I get asked almost daily by homeowners. In a seller’s market, it may not be a requirement to do these things, before you list, because the competition is so fierce to buy homes right now. Home buyers are willing to do this work for you, after they buy.
However, if you really do want a top dollar rate of return, for any remodel you do, make sure it is one that will pay you back when you do decide to sell.
Here is a great article from CBS news, that talks about the in’s and out’s of this concept.

 If ever there was a right time to sell your home,
IT IS NOW.
This is one of the strongest seller’s markets in our history in this greater Seattle metropolitan and its surrounding areas. Experts abound, and all are in agreement, that this shortage of inventory is the worst they have seen in decades.
How does that translate to you as a homeowner?
Buyers are lining up out the door to buy your home. Your home is desired. It is needed. It is valuable. If you have even been toying with the idea of a change of residence, whether it be to downsize, to relocate, to up-size or you simply have a desire for a change of scenery, now is the time to make the move. You will not believe just how valuable that home of yours really is. Whether your home is fixed up or not. Here are the facts:
– Homes are selling in days, some are selling in hours.
– 38% of all homes sold in 2015 were bought with cash.
– People who sold their home in King County in October reaped an average 48 percent gain over their original purchase price.
We have not even seen the typical mid-winter slowdown, of our typical market , this year at all. In fact, the market has become ravenous with even more buyers looking, and no inventory available to buy. Leading into the spring and summer, this will create a literal war-zone for potential buyers, fighting for the winning bid on your home and willing to spend above top dollar in order to reign supreme. That means: Money, in excess, for you as a seller.
Here are a few quick and relevant details I pulled from one of the two attached articles, both detailing this amazing market event:
Seattle and King County had 1.3 and two months’ worth of homes for sale, at the current sales pace, in January. That’s down from 1.6 months and 2.4 months a year ago. While the supply is up slightly from December, seasonal variation complicates month-to-month comparisons. Four to six months is generally considered balanced between buyers and sellers. “We just really are a fast growing city without enough inventory on the market,” said Alon Bassok, a research scientist at the Runstad Center for Real Estate Research at the University of Washington. “Limited inventory, in this case, means to me that we’re going to see prices go up even further.” In addition to the lack of homes currently for sale, the rental market is also tight and construction of new homes isn’t keeping pace with demand, Bassok said. “So there’s pressure on all sides.”In a listing service news release, George Moorhead, designated broker and owner at Bentley Properties, said: “The current inventory of homes available for sale has never been lower in my 22 years as a real estate broker.”Supply of houses for sale in Seattle remains tightGive me a call and I will provide you with a current market analysis of your home. I can help guide you down the path that will lead to the best possible result on the sale of your home.
Do not miss this hot market.
I look forward to helping you.

2423 105th Ave NE, Bellevue 98004 Apple Valley MLS# – 850318 Congratulations to my amazing clients, the Stefnik’s! With multiple offers on this rare property, we were able to pick the bid that met all of my clients needs. Not only did I acquire the amount they were hoping for, but I was also able to negotiate a rent back at NO COST to my clients, so their children could finish the ENTIRE school year at their current schools. Happy kids! Happy parents! Happy broker!
A huge thank you to the entire team that worked on this transaction. Cw Title and Escrow, of Bellevue, did a fantastic job ensuring both clients needs were met. Their attention to detail was exceptional and that was proven in their results! Michael David of Coldwell Banker Bain in Bellevue, was a sincere pleasure to work with. The transaction closed on time and everyone was pleased. Job well done!
The most important part of my job is ensuring that the results my clients expect, are the results they receive or better. Listening to them and sincerely caring about what is important to them, their family and their future, is the way I accomplish this goal. I meticulously design every transaction to meet my clients expectations and then I go that extra mile to surpass them. I do this because I care.
Getting to see my clients smile, hearing them say thank you and knowing they feel valued and fulfilled, that is my best reward. If these are the results you would like to see in your next property purchase or sale, then we should meet. I ensure all of my clients receive extraordinary results, in an effortless fashion.
My clients matter. Call me. The time to sell is right now. The time to buy is right now.
